Reltime AS, global leader in Web3, Layer 1 Proof of Authority and Metaverse financial services platform is leading the shift from traditional e-commerce (controlled by many intermediary organizations) to a direct e-commerce where values are exchanged instantly between consumers and or merchants/ businesses globally. Reltime’s platform is currently supporting such a direct e-commerce across 170 countries.

Reltime’s revolutionary Web3 Micro Merchant Payment with QR code allows customers to make payments using their mobile devices by scanning a QR code displayed by the merchant. When a customer makes a purchase at a store or online, the Reltime Micro Merchant directly connects the seller to the buyer without any intermediary organizations. The customer then uses the Reltime app or Open APIs to execute the payment. This type of payment is extremely popular and taking over payment in many parts of the world due to its convenience, ease of use and top-class security. It eliminates the need for customers to carry cash or credit cards, and it provides merchants with a faster and more secure way to process payments.

With Reltime the transactions include the unique Identity that is generated in the Web3 technology and secured end–to end by a blockchain which is impossible to manipulate. Reltime does not charge any transaction fee to its B2B2C customers, allowing them a solid ROI. The platform will support over 170 countries and all major global fiat currencies. The platform, first launched in October 2022 is already live in multiple markets across LATAM, Europe and APAC.
